Cold Wind, Waves, Ice

Beautifully captured and lit. The only thing keeping me from a 10 is that the framing feels awkward.

Well this one is going to do well. Meets theme well, technically impeccable. What's to argue with?

Harsh Winter

Neat picture. The only thing I'd ask would be to give the subject a little more room to breathe. Let the edges fade into the snowstorm to give a sense of scale. Nice shot though.

Lacks contrast; subject leading out of the frame is often not great.

the bad weather forecast was right

Mountains are very nice. Trees on the left are a bit mundane. Tighter crop might have been nice.

Very pretty and to my taste; not sure this is "extreme".

Falling snow

Captures the theme but maybe not the imagination. Feels mundane. An extreme wide angle might have been better?

Very much to my taste.

Forecast: High Winds and Rain

Comment:
Funny, good approach to the theme, good use of extended editing. The compositing is obvious but meant to be, and it works. The bright sunlight on the subjects' pants is a little distracting given that it's supposed to be storming; also the blending between the sky and ground is in the uncanny valley - I'd have chosen to make it more abrupt rather than trying to blend it.

Overexposed. A subject in the foreground would have built interest. Neat location.
